On a personal note:

What makes us and our work particularly special, when it comes to designing and creating architectural features.

It may sound a bit unusual, and some people may not agree with this experience and theory, but many years ago, and here I come directly to myself, I had a radical experience in my previously prevailing attitude to life.

At that time I lived again in the USA and was often in Arizona for work. Out of pure interest in the adobe building style and to further deepen my basic knowledge, I contacted the "Native American" community. It was the Hopi, Navajo and Apache tribes that particulary interested me and they all had something in common. The deep inner bond for "Mother" Earth and an unearthly connection that unites all people.

I gladly accepted the offer of various, practice-oriented seminars for the creation of adobe buildings, some of which are very sophisticated architecture.

In these workshops, which often lasted several weeks, not only the techniques and the use of natural materials (such as clay...) were taught, but to my surprise, shamanic rituals were also included, the effect of which is similar to Feng Shui, which is more familiar in our latitudes. I don't just mean that in relation to the orientation of living units and their furnishings. It was more the philosophical integration of humans and nature.

I hadn't expected that, and I would like to briefly summarize here what has not only occupied my mind since then, but what has been reflected and accompanied even more strongly in all of my, or rather our, work since then. Namely, to sense and understand the deep understanding of what customers really expect and want. This can sometimes lead to very in-depth discussions in order to be able to implement expectations in the best possible way and to develop harmonious colour and material ideas.

Every person's "home" is an extremely personal space, a cocoon, so to speak, that surrounds them, a protective element. This space must be designed not only for the project, but above all very individually, person-related.

A wide variety of materials and the colour selection are of crucial importance!

In my experience, people who prefer a more purist (such as cubic) architecture also tend to prefer minimalist interior design and monochrome colour schemes. In the colour palette, white/grey, but currently also a warm beige in combination with grey tones.

People who are very close to nature often prefer creamy and earthy colours, as well as materials such as natural clay... that radiate a certain warmth. They also prefer a cosy environment and a "softer" design architecture.

It shouldn't be overestimated, but the core of it all is, to put it bluntly, to understand clients "from the ground up". Only then can wonderful results be achieved.

This mutual satisfaction is very important to me personally, and that's why I'm happy to go the so-called "extra mile"!

In eigener Sache:

Was zeichnet uns und unsere Arbeit möglicherweise besonders aus, wenn es um die detaillierte Vorbereitung, Gestaltung und Erstellung von architektonischen Besonderheiten geht.

Es mag sich etwas ungewöhnlich anhören und sicherlich können manche dieser Erfahrung und These nicht folgen, doch vor vielen Jahren und hier komme ich direkt zu meiner Person, habe ich eine einschneidende Erfahrung in meiner bis dato vorherrschenden Lebenseinstellung gemacht.

Damals lebte ich wieder eine längere Zeit in den USA und war beruflich häufig in Arizona unterwegs. Aus reinem Interesse am Adobe Baustil und um mein Grundwissen weiter zu vertiefen, nahm ich Kontakt zur „Native American" Gemeinschaft auf. Es waren die Stämme der Hopi, Navajos und Apatschen, die mich besonders interessierten und die alle etwas gemeinsam verband. Die tiefe Verbundenheit zur „Mutter“ Erde und einer überirdischen Verbindung, die alle Menschen einander vereint.

Das Angebot an verschiedenen, praxisorientierten Seminaren und Workshops für die Erstellung von Adobe Bauten der einfach aussehenden, dennoch teils sehr anspruchsvollen Architektur nahm ich gerne an. 

In diesen, oft mehrwöchigen Workshops, wurden jedoch nicht nur die Techniken und die Verwendung von natürlichen Materialien (u.a. Lehmbau…) vermittelt, sondern zu meiner Überraschung auch schamanische Rituale mit einbezogen, die in ihrer Wirkung dem in unseren Breitengraden mehr vertrauten Feng-Shui ähneln. Das meine ich nicht nur in Bezug auf die Ausrichtung von Wohneinheiten und derer Möblierung. Es war mehr die philosophische Einbeziehung von Mensch und Natur.

Damit hatte ich nicht gerechnet und ich möchte hier auch nur verkürzt wiedergeben, was mich seitdem nicht nur stark gedanklich beschäftigt, sondern was sich seither nochmals verstärkt bei all meinen, respektive unseren Arbeiten widerspiegelt und begleitet.

Nämlich, das tiefe Verständnis dafür zu erspüren und zu verstehen, was Kunden wirklich erwarten und wünschen. Das kann mitunter zu tiefgreifenden Gesprächen führen, um Erwartungen optimal umsetzen zu können und um harmonische Farb- und Materialvorstellungen zu entwickeln.

Die „Behausung“ eines jeden Menschen ist ein überaus persönlicher Raum, ein Kokon sozusagen, der ihn umspinnt, ein beschützendes Element. Diesen gilt es nicht nur Projekt-, sondern vor allem sehr individuell, Personenbezogen zu gestalten.

Dabei sind die unterschiedlichsten Materialien und die Farbauswahl von entscheidener Bedeutung!

Menschen, die mehr eine puristische (wie kubische) Architektur bevorzugen, neigen meiner Erfahrung nach eher zu einer minimalistischen Raumgestaltung und monochromen Farbgebungen. In der Farbpalette, Weiß/Grau, aktuell aber auch ein warmes Beige in Verbindung mit Grautönen.

Personen, die sehr naturverbunden sind, bevorzugen häufig cremige und erdige Farbtöne, sowie Materialien, wie Naturlehm, Holz…, die eine gewisse Wärme ausstrahlen. Überdies bevorzugen sie eine gemütliche Umgebung und eine gestalterisch „weichere“ Architektur.

Es sollte nicht überzogen bewertet werden, doch der Kern des ganzen ist, salopp ausgedrückt, Klienten “blank” zu verstehen. Nur dann lassen sich wunderschöne Ergebnisse erzielen.

Diese beidseitige Zufriedenheit ist mir persönlich sehr wichtig und deshalb bin ich gerne bereit, die sogenannte „extra mile” zu gehen!
